Western rescinds travel ban to Indiana

Rich Van Den Hul, vice president for Business and Financial Affairs at Western Washington University, issued the following statement to WWU faculty and staff on Friday:

On Monday, March 30, Governor Jay Inslee issued an executive order placing a ban on travel to Indiana.  Following the Governor's lead, Western Washington University's administration issued an addendum to our travel policies banning travel to Indiana

Governor Inslee imposed the ban on state-funded travel to Indiana after the passage of a new law in that state that has the potential for discrimination. However, today, Governor Inslee has rescinded the ban on state-funded travel to Indiana after that state changed the law.

Western also will rescind its ban, effective immediately.  You may now process travel requests in the normal fashion.
